The problem

Founders are stuck doing the one job they don't want to outsource.

Software ate finance, sales, marketing, and engineering. People decisions still land on the founder — and the only "help" available is hiring the very thing founders are trying to avoid.

01

Hiring is high-stakes and lonely.

Every offer is a $300K+ commitment with runway implications. Founders make these calls between investor meetings, with no second opinion that understands the business.

02

Compliance breaks silently.

One remote hire in California can trigger four new obligations. Most founders learn about them from a legal advisor's invoice or a state agency letter, not in time to act.

03

The existing options don't fit.

An HR hire is a $180K bet. Fractional CHROs send slide decks. Legal advisors bill by the hour and only show up after something has already gone wrong.

The product

Atlas lives in Slack and acts before founders ask.

It connects to your hiring stack and HRIS, then runs continuously — surfacing the right call at the right moment, with the action one click away.

Proactive, not on-demand.

Atlas watches headcount, comp, runway, and 50-state compliance 24/7. The first time a founder hears about a problem is when Atlas has already drafted the next move.

  • Pulls live data from Gusto and Rippling
  • Flags issues against runway, budget, and hiring velocity
  • Every alert ships with one-click actions — no slash commands to remember

Heads up — the Senior Backend offer you're about to send pushes Q3 burn past your runway target.
Runway impact: 14.2 months → 11.8 months
Base $185K + equity 0.4% on a $4.2M post is ~22% above market for a Series Seed at your stage. Two adjustments below would keep the candidate competitive and protect 2.4 months of runway.

Atlas: Walk me through the last system you took from prototype to production at scale — what broke first, and how did you decide what to fix?

Atlas runs the screen for you.

When a candidate clears the resume bar, Atlas joins a Zoom call as a participant, runs a structured interview by voice, and DMs the founder a scored summary before the next meeting starts.

  • Builds a custom candidate profile from the founder's actual needs — not a generic JD
  • Real spoken interaction — TTS in, transcript out
  • ICP-tuned questions per role and company stage
  • Scored against the rubric the founder actually cares about

Compliance comes to the founder, not the other way around.

Atlas is wired into your PEO and HRIS, so the moment a new hire enters the system Atlas already knows the state, the role, and the obligations. The founder learns about it because Atlas told them — and Atlas already started the work.

  • Detects new hires, location changes, and headcount triggers in real time
  • Built on verified federal statutes, state law, EEOC decisions, and live case law
  • Anti-hallucination guardrails — every answer cites the underlying statute
  • Sources: GovInfo, CourtListener, Cornell LII, Brave Search

Heads up — I just saw Sarah Kim move into onboarding in Gusto with a California address. That's your first CA employee, which triggers four new compliance requirements. I've started two of them already.
Atlas is handling these now
✓ CA EDD payroll registration — submitted, ~5 day turnaround
✓ Wage notice per Cal. Labor Code § 2810.5 — drafted and ready to send with her offer
Needs your call
1. Workers' comp policy — strict liability if missed. I can pull quotes from three carriers.
2. Harassment training plan kicks in once you have 5+ CA employees in 2026. Want me to set the reminder?
